Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To do what all the old people tell me! Experience everything I possibly can while I'm young!
ABOUT ME
I was born in PA but have lived in TX for 18yrs. Was in banking for 8yrs and was laid off from Wachovia in Sept 2008 due to the mortgage crisis. I was fortunate enough to get a severance package so I took the money and decided to travel until it ran out. I have been called smiley on several occasions because I am always in a good mood, or try to be. I enjoy conversation but also appreciate my alone time. I could live in the water I love it so much. I love nice things and to be spoiled but then love the outdoors and ruffing it. Always enjoy good food and some wine with nice company.
I have already traveled to Australia, Mexico, Belize, Bahamas and around the states. My around the world trip starts in South Africa then Seychelles, Kenya, Egypt, Morocco where I will take the fairy to Spain and there starts my Europe trip. Once I work my way up to Ireland I want to then visit Indonesia, Thailand, Australia and New Zealand. I am greatly hoping my money will stretch that far.
PHILOSOPHY
I am just starting to figure all that out now. Will have to come back to this question.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I can offer my knowledge and experience of what I have done and learned in life. I am always willing to lend an ear to someone that needs one.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I am a new comer to couch surfing but the closest experience I have had is now in Nairobi. I am volunteering here and am staying with a host family. Its a married couple my age and they are very nice. They have been making me breakfast and dinner and filling me in on the way things are here. very nice experience, much better then a boring hotel.

Teach, Learn, Share
I can always share how just because you have a hard upbringing that you can overcome it with a positive attitude and a mindset that you can make things different and look to the future.
